Are there other ways to save money? Yes. Take a look around your home and check for drafts around doors, windows and even electrical outlets. By adding caulk, weather stripping or foam insulation you can block out winter cold -- which means greater comfort for you and your family and less work for your heating system. If you haven’t installed storm windows and doors, this could be the year when it really pays to do so. A great place to check for energy leaks is your attic. Since warm air rises, money could be going through the roof if your attic area is poorly insulated. (Remember, purchasing and installing insulation with higher “R” values means greater energy savings.) And don’t forget to check below.

Gossett © 2015 Jason B. Gossett Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August, 2015 ii The dissertation of Jason B. Gossett was reviewed and approved* by the following: Linda Thornton Associate Professor, Music Education Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Richard Bundy Professor, Music Education Davin Carr-Chellman Assistant Professor, Adult Education Joanne Rutkowski Professor, Music Education Graduate Program Chair *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the pedagogic values of band directors. Further, how these values are operationalized in the classroom and contribute to a director’s conception of the good life was examined. This dissertation contains the findings from three separate investigations. The purpose of the first investigation was to elicit and examine the pedagogic values of three band directors. I sought to understand their pedagogic values through observation, interviews, and examination of repertoire lists. The participants’ pedagogic values emerged as values of ends and of students. Directors identified undergraduate music education experiences, reflection, and teaching experiences as sources of their values. The purpose of my second investigation was to ascertain the values and sources of pedagogic values held by band directors and how contextual factors influence stasis or change in values. I used a descriptive survey design for this inquiry. Participants were band directors from six states representing the six National Association for Music Education regional divisions.

The deeper we breathe, the longer we live, and the more diverse and culturally rich we become. The beauty of African dance and music lies in the authenticity of our embedded traditions that are carried from one generation to another. Like our elders and ancestors before us, our creative legacy will be added to this long history when we take our last breaths. African music is nearly always coupled with some other art form, such as poetry, ritual or dance. All of these art forms are rooted in rhythm. Through interaction and creativity our culture is constantly moving, growing and changing. And together, they reveal the African life and soul. More than 50 distinct ethnic groups contribute to Uganda’s rich culture and while modern borders are fixed, these cultures spill out across traditional territories into neighboring countries.

  • LISTENING to MUSIC in the FIRST THREE GRADES of PRIMARY SCHOOL Dr
    Metodički obzori 9 (2014)1, No. 19 Listening to music in the first three grades... Received: 22.6.2012. Reviewed paper UDK: 78.073-057.874”465.06/.09” LISTENING TO MUSIC IN THE FIRST THREE GRADES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL dr. sc. Jasna Šulentić Begić The Teacher Faculty in Osijek [email protected] mag. Katarina Tomljanović Primary School Hugo Badalić [email protected] ABSTRACT Since school year 2006-2007 music lessons in primary schools have been carried out by the open model, which considers the music field of listening to music as a default activity. In fact, only active listening to quality music can empower pupils to critical and aesthetic evaluation of music and that is how they become competent users of musical culture. This paper reviews the thinking of different authors about listening to music as a teaching area and also research that was conducted in three different elementary schools in the city of Slavonski Brod during March 2012. In every elementary school music class- es were observed in the first, second and third grade. Systematic observation led to the conclusion that some teachers still do not access to activity of listening to music in the artistic and aesthetic way, and that the music lessons continue to contain many tasks that are non-musical so pupils are encouraged to imagine non-musical content while listen- ing to music, although the music itself is non-display art. It is important that teachers are aware of this fact so pupils can develop musical taste and a critical attitude towards music from an early age, which is the ultimate aim of teaching music.

Wilson certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: THE REASONS CITED BY LATINO STUDENTS FOR THEIR DISCONTINUATION IN BAND AFTER THE FIRST YEAR ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Jacob M. Dakon Date approved: June 30, 2017 ii Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the reasons cited by Latino students for their discontinuation in band after the first year of instruction. Participants (N = 10) were middle school students enrolled in the Olathe Public School District in Olathe, Kansas. Using a phenomenological approach, data were collected through two focus group sessions led by the researcher. Focus groups were audio recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a two-cycle coding process. Findings indicate that students attribute five primary themes to their discontinuation in band after the first year: Personal Cost, Social Cost, Monetary Cost, Denial of Choice, and Teacher Effectiveness. The first three themes, Personal, Social, and Monetary Cost, were examined through the lens of Eccles’s Expectancy-Value Theory Framework (1983). The fourth theme, Denial of Choice, is discussed as it relates to the idea of Autonomy versus Control in education.
